Final Advisory Letter
Final report of the Pacific Fisheries Resource Conservation Council in its role as advisors on wild Pacific salmon and steelhead stocks and habitat.
First BC Member Named to Pacific Fisheries Council
Vancouver, June 7, 2000 - Frank Brown of the Heiltsuk
Nation is BC's first representative to the Pacific Fisheries Resource
Conservation Council, Agriculture, Food and Fisheries Minister Corky
Evans said today.
"Frank Brown is a major advocate of the conservation economy," said Evans. "His experience as a community development facilitator in conserving and restoring natural resources makes him ideal for a national council dedicated to conservation."
"The Pacific Fisheries Resource Conservation Council will address key fisheries issues of habitat, biodiversity, wild fisheries, climate and water use," said Ed Conroy, parliamentary secretary to Evans. "BC needs to work closely with the federal government in this process."
Brown is the first of two British Columbians who will be appointed this year to the council, which was created by the federal government in 1998 as a resource conservation watchdog for Pacific fish and the ecosystems upon which they depend.
Brown is a Bella Bella ecotourism operator. He is closely involved in the conservation-based economic development in his community.
